About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it ...

The five phases of mitosis and cell division tightly coordinate the movements of hundreds of proteins. How did early biologists unravel this complex dance of chromosomes? The most obvious ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell’s ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves.

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

All cells are produced from other cells by the process of cell division. Cell division occurs when one cell divides to produce two new cells. Unicellular organisms use cell division to reproduce.

The unexpected discovery may provide scientists with new insights into how cancer develops — and how to combat it.

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem cells.

The effect of saccharin on the microbiome has received much attention, but its impact on pathogenic bacterial species is less ...

With the theoretical part extended, this paper would be of interest to cell biologists and biophysicists working on asymmetric partitioning during cell division. Asymmetric partition of fate ...

Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host cells and lost their ...
